This is a suggested feature, a switch at the end of URLs that disables ads. This would allow us to share a link to the ad-free version of our hubs. Probably not possible though because code for ads maybe has to be added at design time. But could there be a switch in the code that enables/disables ads at run time, based on the URL switch? When I used to write software for DOS, I added various switches that could be included with the name of an application, called from the command line. This enabled different options when the application was run. I guess things are more complicated now.

Ok, here it is. Hubpages edited some of my hubs to "make them better" so they can be featured and moved to vertical sites. If I undo their "corrections" I risk having that hub removed from the featured status. When I have reviewed their "corrections"...

I have just discovered that the 'ad levels' option has been changed on HubPages in a way which really restricts flexibility for Hub page writers. Instead of having the options for 'high', 'medium', or 'low' level advertising, or 'no ads' at all, we are now just being given the options, 'ads'...
